MAVS NEWS:

Breathe. 

I don’t like the way it looks either. Maybe this team needs to trade for three difference makers. Kyrie, Davis, & Lively. They don’t have a lot of draft capital, so it will be difficult to pull off, but those three could put them over the top.

In all seriousness, I’m not even the least bit concerned about Flagg. He shows flashes of IT. That’s more than enough to give me the patience to see his growth play out. I think Kidd is playing the long game with him, and I think it’s the right call. He’ll be special. Give it time.

I am concerned about Flagg.  He does show flashes of "IT"...but he also seems to be showing signs of losing confidence.  The Mavs, Kidd?, the fans (us) have put him in an untenable, almost impossible situation.  I've seen way too many bright prospects lose confidence because of  unrealistic coaching and situations.  Carlisle was a master at this, Kidd has done it.  I'm sure others have as well, but I don't watch them.  Once the tender young star loses confidence it takes a long time to regain it...and may never reach the level they would have without the blow to their tender, young egos.  Yeah...I'm worried...
